While doing research 12 or 13 years ago, I met Jim Hansen, the scientist who in 1988 predicted the greenhouse effect before Congress. I went over to the window with him and looked out on Broadway in New York City and said, “If what you’re saying about the greenhouse effect is true, is anything going to look different down there in 20 years?” He looked for a while and was quiet and didn’t say anything for a couple seconds. Then he said, “Well, there will be more traffic.” I, of course, didn’t think he heard the question right. Then he explained, “The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.” Then he said, “There will be more police cars.” Why? “Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”
And so far, over the last 10 years, we’ve had 10 of the hottest years on record.
Didn’t he also say that restaurants would have signs in their windows that read, “Water by request only.”
Under the greenhouse effect, extreme weather increases. Depending on where you are in terms of the hydrological cycle, you get more of whatever you’re prone to get. New York can get droughts, the droughts can get more severe and you’ll have signs in restaurants saying “Water by request only.”
When did he say this will happen?
Within 20 or 30 years. And remember we had this conversation in 1988 or 1989.
Does he still believe these things?
Yes, he still believes everything. I talked to him a few months ago and he said he wouldn’t change anything that he said then.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Steve … are you trying to get Tony Duncan to come out of hiding?
No just trying to show that Hansen is a disgrace to NASA.
He’s a disgrace in general, and is actually the reason Roy Spencer left NASA. Spencer was told to keep his mouth shut, while Hansen was given free rein to speak his mind. Spencer didn’t dispute that his employer had every right to do what they did, but he wasn’t going to stay in that siutation. As such, he resigned and moved on.
NASA a once proud national endeavor that took men to the moon and back again.
Now it contracts out space research while employing unscientific climate/overpopulation alarmists.
Hansen’s bull dogs would argue that Hansen never said any of those things. (Journalists made it up or misquoted him or something.) I guess that’s possible, although he is saying equally silly things today when interviewed…
What’s worst of all in this is that there’s waaaay to many people in America that would swallow hook, line, and sinker, what a NASA scientist says without taking time to see if they are right. Stupid Americans.
